With our independently developed internal oxidation silver alloy process (AgCdO(12) and AgSnO2(12)), we have broken the performance limitations of traditional powder metallurgy and provided high-reliability solutions for mid-to-high-end markets such as relays, circuit breakers, and new energy high-voltage DC contactors.
1. Core Competitive Advantages
(1). Material Innovation:
Internal oxidation silver alloy: Through a high-temperature oxidation process, the silver matrix and CdO/SnO2 are uniformly composited at the nanoscale; the crystal density is increased by 30%, the conductivity is ≥42MS/m, and the hardness HV reaches 80-100, which is significantly better than powder metallurgy products.
Arc erosion resistance: AgSnO2(12) has a 50% reduction in arc burnout rate and stable contact resistance of less than 0.5mΩ in high current scenarios above 20A.
(2). Full industry chain coverage:
From silver alloy smelting and internal oxidation treatment to welding silver contacts and stamping (square/round/convex types), as well as integrating silver contact welding assemblies (using red copper/brass terminals), one-stop production is achieved.
